Style Description

The “Breakfast at Tiffany's” style arose in the 50s in America after the release of the film of the same name and the magnificent Audrey Hepburn in the title role. Since then, the name “Tiffany” has become associated not only with jewelry, but also with a way of life. The wedding is based on romantic, elegant, moderately modest and not devoid of enthusiasm images.

The motto of the Tiffany style is: “Live here and now, allow yourself what you have long dreamed of!”

Restaurant decoration

Wedding decoration

The ideal solution for a Tiffany style wedding is a retro hall or decorations. The main emphasis in the interior should be on black and white photographs in the spirit of that time, located on the walls. Interior options with retro posts and paintings will also look good. Such interior additions as plates, a record player, candelabra and other decorative elements in the spirit of that time will help transport guests and young people to the 60s.

Basic Wedding Design Elements

The basic rule for decorating a Tiffany wedding style is to properly maintain the design in the chosen color or combination of shades. The hall for the event begins to be decorated with chairs and tables. Cases made of blue satin or other basic shade are ideal. They can be complemented with panels of a darker or lighter shade. With a competent approach to the issue, you can wedge a third chocolate color into the design.

The arch can be decorated with sky-blue rosebuds and a panel of a more delicate, but similar shade. Glasses tied with turquoise ribbons will fit perfectly into the interior. It is necessary to complement the overall composition of the celebration with the help of white roses and vases with orchids of a suitable shade. Roses can be supplemented with branches of fruit flowering trees.

Also, in the process of decorating the hall, it is important to pay attention to the guest area and the area for gifts. In this location, it is also necessary to adhere to the chosen basic shade and style. The slightest mistake will spoil the overall picture, and the area itself will look tasteless. To avoid such a problem, you should listen to a number of tips even at the stage of registration of the celebration:

• It is recommended to place small decorative elements in a visible place, decorating them with satin ribbons of the selected shade. Additional decor can include boxes with wishes to guests, retro boxes and other decor from the era of that time;
• to add extra solemnity to the atmosphere, you can use antique-style mirrors of large sizes;
• An unusual solution would be to arrange buckets of pink champagne, decorated with ribbons of the chosen main shade.

The perfect finishing touch will be the arrangement of flower arrangements in the style of the wedding.

Choosing a wedding venue

In the cool season, the ceremony can be held in the registry office or in a country residence (if its decoration corresponds to the fashion of the 50s). You can also celebrate your wedding there or choose a luxurious restaurant for this.

In summer and late spring, many newlyweds prefer an outdoor ceremony. A beautiful park or seaside would be suitable; the first option is preferable. The main requirement is that everything should be at the highest level (design of the registration and celebration area, professionalism of the service staff, musicians) and not resemble a Saturday family picnic.

Groom image

A classic suit in black or gray is ideal for an elegant wedding style. A turquoise tie will be a bright accent of the look. You can wear a tuxedo with a sky blue boutonniere in the buttonhole, a bow tie and gold cufflinks on the sleeves.

Of course, it would be nice to have a hairstyle in the style of the 60s, but it all depends on the determination of your groom.

Color

Main colors for a Breakfast at Tiffany's wedding:

• Tiffany blue (the color of the brand’s legendary boxes);
• white;
• chocolate;
• black;
• light pink.

The combination of white and menthol colors looks fresh, does not tire the eyes and allows you to take bright photos.

The contrast of white and black (or chocolate) is also classic for this style, but it is undesirable to load the interior or outfit with dark shades.

It is necessary to avoid bright colors (red, yellow, orange) and an abundance of shiny decor. The cold steel color of silverware, mirrors and the shine of crystal will be enough.

Characteristics, shades, features of implementation

The idea of ​​the event in the Tiffany format is the statement “You need to take from life what you want. Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” And a true admirer will try to bring to life the ideas that he likes.
And this, first of all, is a romantic mood, which is reflected in music, decor, and clothing. It is also necessary to maintain originality, modernity and individuality.

The highlight of the style is the location for the formal part – nature. You can choose either a clearing in the forest or a picturesque corner of a city park.

But this is not a mandatory requirement; a hall for special events is also suitable, the main thing is to maintain the surroundings, namely:

• luxury should be present in everything;
• mandatory presence of photos on the walls in retro style;
• maintain the main shade in the decor – turquoise blue;
• the business card of a Tiffany-style wedding will be a taxi car and always yellow; An alternative could be vintage cars with a blue tint in their paint.

Having chosen the idea of ​​decorating a celebration in the Tiffany style, modern massive cars in the motorcade should be excluded.

In addition to the basic requirements, it can be noted that the turquoise shade is combined with milky white, chocolate, and soft cream colors. For them to look appropriate, the combination must be present throughout the decor.

Decorating a celebration in the style of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”

The registration and celebration area is decorated with:

• blue and white ribbons (plus bows) made of satin and tulle;
• small turquoise boxes with compliments for guests;
• large mirrors (if celebrated in a restaurant or home);
• black and white photographs;
• accessories in retro style - boxes, snow-white and metal figurines, vinyl records, pearls;
• a bucket of pink champagne;
• flower arrangements.

Everything should be in the same style; the slightest deviation from the image (especially color) will be noticeable.

Gift table

Choosing and decorating a tuple

The ideal option for Tiffany's wedding is retro cars in menthol and white colors; black cars should preferably be decorated with contrasting turquoise ribbons.

• Hudson Hornet
• Electra 225 Cobvertible
• Cadillac Fleetwood
• Chrysler Newport
• Chrysler 300 Convertible.

It must be borne in mind that the Tiffany style does not tolerate vulgarity and vulgarity. Therefore, when choosing cars, it is advisable to abandon cars like Jeep or Hummer.

The cortege of typical New York yellow taxis looks unusual.

Automobile

Place of registration

If the wedding ceremony is held indoors, then the seats for guests should be decorated with turquoise and white ribbons, and the path of the newlyweds to the table should be covered with snow-white cloth. Floral arrangements will be appropriate in the registration area.

The registration area for an outdoor ceremony should be decorated with an arch of flowers; it is advisable to cover the bride’s path to the altar with a turquoise or white carpet (an alternative is white petals). You can put covers with bows on the chairs on which guests will sit.

Banquet area

If you are planning an outdoor celebration, then installing snow-white textile tents will provide shelter from the heat or rain. Tables are covered with menthol or white tablecloths. A little further away they set up a stage for the musicians. Let rock and roll, jazz or music from the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” flow.

White and blue balloons and flower arrangements would be quite appropriate decor.

Outdoor celebrations can be arranged in a buffet format, and textile canopies can be used instead of tents.

Sweet table

If you are planning a classic celebration in a restaurant, you need to make sure that the premises have:

• high ceilings;
• furniture in modern style;
• large crystal chandeliers;
• mirrors in massive metal frames.

Decorating tables is no different from celebrating outdoors. The only difference is that balloons would be out of place in an expensive restaurant. It is advisable to limit yourself to flowers, ribbons and black and white retro photographs of the newlyweds.

Wherever a Tiffany-style wedding is celebrated, care must be taken to ensure that the tables have high-quality tableware from the same set (crystal, silver, porcelain).

In all cases, it is necessary to allocate an area for dancing, a table for compliments to guests and a place in which they will put gifts.

Packing gifts in boxes and paper in classic Tiffany & Co colors looks interesting and will match the theme of the celebration. Guests can be notified of this in the invitations.

Important little things

It is advisable to make the invitations menthol white with the font used for the Tiffany & Co brand name. They can be sealed in openwork envelopes and decorated with small white bows, ribbons or rhinestones.

Invitations without photos

Place cards in retro style look unusual - black and white photos of guests that will be placed on the table. You can get by with simple white or turquoise personalized or numbered cards.

It is advisable to avoid long “p” or “g” shaped tables. A more suitable option is round tables for 5-6 people each, like in a cabaret.

Wedding banquet

The table setting also deserves attention. Individuality will be given by such a move as placing signs with the names of guests, decorated in turquoise color interspersed with white lace or a satin bow.

White color is necessary so that the signs do not merge with the turquoise tablecloth. The next element for decorating a table in the Tiffany style is napkins, which are also selected to match. Cutlery looks elegant when wrapped in a napkin and tied either with a pearl-colored ring or tied with a ribbon.

The decoration of the dishes can be entrusted to the restaurant staff, but the decoration of the main element - the wedding cake - must be thought out in advance. It is best if you order the dessert in soft blue or turquoise-white. Its design may resemble a box tied with a white ribbon.

For those who like a more traditional style, you can order a two-tier round dessert. You can decorate it with sugar flowers, complementing them with living floral elements.

The bride's bouquet

Bridesmaids should wear cocktail dresses of blue or chocolate color (if the bride's dress is white) of medium length made of chiffon in combination with sandals or high-heeled shoes.

If the bride's outfit is turquoise, it is advisable for the bridesmaids to choose milky or ivory cocktail dresses. Translucent capes and satin gloves will help complement the look of your girlfriends.
